This is my Under the Sea themed hoop for the April hoopla along. I got the pattern on Etsy

I used a back stitch, a chain stitch, and a few french knots to complete the project. I LOVE the look of the chain stitch but am not as impressed with the back stitch on the sea shells... The chain stitch is so easy if you use the cheater method that I think I will try to incorporate it into more pieces...
